In Assassin's Creed Revelations, which historical Ottoman sultan does Ezio meet?

In Assassin's Creed Revelations, Ezio meets the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.

Suleiman appears as a young prince during the game's Constantinople storyline. Ezio becomes involved in the political struggles surrounding the Ottoman succession and forms a relationship with Suleiman while investigating the Templars' activities. The fictional plot places Ezio beside a figure who would later become one of the Ottoman Empire's most famous rulers.

Mehmed II, Bayezid II, and Selim I were also real Ottoman sultans connected to the period, but they are different rulers. Bayezid II is Suleiman's grandfather, Selim I is his father, and Mehmed II belongs to an earlier generation. These distinctions matter because the game uses several historical Ottoman figures and succession conflicts.

Revelations is set mainly in Constantinople in the early sixteenth century and concludes Ezio's personal trilogy. It also follows Altaïr's legacy through memories linked to Masyaf, while the modern-day storyline continues Desmond Miles's arc.
